Lemons, due to their beneficial properties, are undoubtedly frequent guests in any kitchen.
Citrus slices are usually added to tea, the zest is used for baking, and lemon juice is used to season salads and as part of marinades.
However, don't immediately grab a knife and cutting board if you need a slice of lemon.
If you plan to use the lemon in food, you should definitely rub it with baking soda.
First, rinse the fruit under warm water, then take a packet of baking powder and rub it thoroughly into the sides of the lemon.
On average, one fruit requires 2-3 teaspoons of soda (depending on its size).
The lemon should lie in this form for several minutes, after which wash off the applied composition with hot water.
This way you can kill two birds with one stone: firstly, the citrus will become clean and disinfected, and secondly, its aroma will increase several times, since the soda and boiling water will cause the essential oils from the lemon peel to become more active.
